G LOVE-FASTENING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 345,930, dated July 20, 1886".

Application filed May 15, 1886; ,Serial No. 202,258. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, SAMUEL \V. SI-IOREY, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State ofMassachusetts, a citizen ofthe United States, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Fastenings for Gloves and other Articles,of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accom panying drawings, forming apartofthisspeeiticatlomin explaining its nature.

The invention is an improvement upon that described in Letters Patent No. 325,688, to A. G. Mead, assignor, and No. 325,698, to \V. S. Richardson, both dated September 8, 1885,

'and it relates especially to the use or employment of a metal plate interposed between the cup or socket of the fastening and the material and cap employed in securing the socket member in place. It is especially adapted for use 111 connection with fastenings of a large size; and its advantages are, first, it prevents thewrinkling of the material to which the fastening is secured; second, it stays the side of the socket or cup, so that itcan be made of t inner metal; third, it prevents the socket or cup from being pulled through the material to which it is fastened, and, fourth, it serves to prevent the turning of the socket or cup upon the fastening eyelet or rivet.

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a view in perspective of all the parts of the fastening before they are assembled. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the top thereof after they have been brought together and secured to the material. Fig. 8 is a plan view of the under side of the fastening applied to the material, and Fig. i is a central section thereof.

a is the cup or socket, and it is substantially like that described in said patents.

to is the cap, a the material to which the fastening is secured, and a the fastening employed in securing the cup or socket to the cap.

a is a plate, preferably-of metal, having 'a hole, a and preferably shaped substantially as shown in Figs; 1, 3, and 4tthat is,to form the depressed section or recess a to receive the cup or socket, and a flange, rd, extending laterally therefrom. Preferably the recess or depression is made of a size to receive a portion of the cup or socket and hold it sufficiently closely to act as a stay in re-enforcing and holding the yielding sides of the cup or socket.

In applying the fastening the plate (6 is placed on the material, the socket or cup properly placed within the depression or re cess, the cap placed upon the other surface of the material, and the parts are then united by the fastening 0, the plate a" being held clamped in place between the cup or socket and the material and cap a.

It will be seen that the material to which the fastening is secured is held between the plate a and the cap a in such a manner that it is supported by and held away from the cup or socket and cannot wrinkle or pucker; also, that the plate forms an abutment or barrier which prevents the socket or cup from being drawn through the material by the cap 5 also, that by bearing upon the surface of the cup it prevents the turning of the cup upon its fast ening, and acts as are-enforce and stay for the sides thereof. I

I would say that it is not essential that the plate a be formed so as to bear against the sides of the cup; but I prefer this formof construction.-

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States- V 1. The improvementin fastenings for gloves and other articles, comprising the socket or cup to, the plate a, the cap a, and fastening a, substantially as described.

2. In a cup or socket fastening for gloves and other articles, the plate a,interposed between the cup or socket a and the material to which the cup or socket is secured, substantially as described.
